History
Rhigos RFC were formed by the local cricket team that decided they needed a winter sport to allow them to continue playing when the cricket season ended. A vote was made between members on whether to choose rugby or football, and rugby won by a single vote and the club was created. During the 1937/38 season the club won the Pontypridd and District cup beating Rhydyfelin RFC 3-0. Originally playing on the Gwrangon Field, they moved temporarily to Mount Road, before changing grounds again to Newth's Field.

gollark: As I said, my main issues with the government are with the legal system, regulatory capture being a horribly common thing, monopolies not really being dealt with well or at all, lack of transparency, and horrible overreach of intelligence agencies.
gollark: (and also society being generally better does help me)
gollark: See, I actually care (somewhat) about other people.
